Panoramic X-ray or Orthopantomogram

This is a panoramic 2D imaging of all the teeth in the upper and lower jaws, along with the surrounding bone. This imaging is mandatory during the patient’s first examination and is used to assess the condition of the teeth, bone structures, and periodontium. The procedure is completely painless and comfortable for the patient, as both the sensor and the X-ray source are located outside the mouth and rotate around the patient’s head.

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Imaging

Targeted imaging of the bone structures of both temporomandibular joints with open and closed mouth is used in diagnosing temporomandibular joint diseases. It is available in both 2D or 3D.

Teleroentgenography

The cephalometric X-ray is a 2D image used in orthodontic diagnostics. It is most commonly done as an LL (latero-lateral) image and an AP (antero-posterior) image, especially for patients where skeletal growth is monitored. The lateral image provides information about the relationships between the upper and lower jaws in all spatial planes and is used to monitor child growth and assess the start of orthodontic therapy. In adults, it is used to evaluate the inclinations of the teeth and jaws and their inter-jaw relationship. The AP image is used to diagnose facial asymmetry and prepare patients for orthognathic surgery. It is also possible to take a hand X-ray at the clinic, which is used to diagnose the end of growth and development. This X-ray is invaluable without software analysis, which the orthodontist uses to generate findings and plan therapy.

CBCT - Cone Beam Computer Tomography

The cone beam is a 3D imaging method using cone-beam computed tomography, which creates a reconstructed three-dimensional image of the scanned area, greatly facilitating diagnosis and therapy planning.3D imaging has advanced significantly in the last two decades and has found its application in orthodontics, oral, and maxillofacial surgery, especially in situations that require understanding the complex anatomical relationships and surrounding structures of the maxillofacial skeleton. The device allows us to scan various fields and parts of the face. The key advantage of CBCT is its high-resolution images with relatively low radiation doses. This imaging is completely painless and comfortable for the patient. It is essential for every adult patient and is now an indispensable part of the first examination for any adult patient.

Paranasal Sinus Imaging

3D imaging of the maxillary sinuses is used in diagnosing sinus disease in otorhinolaryngology. This imaging is completely painless and without discomfort for the patient.

Airway Analysis for Air Passage Patency

With the CBCT device and specific software, the narrowing of the airways can be visualized, producing a static image of the airways, which can help identify patients with a high predisposition for obstructive apnea. It is very important, before orthognathic therapy, i.e., orthodontic surgical therapy, to analyze the airway so that the preparation and therapy plan for the operative advancement of the lower jaw can be done precisely. Every patient can check the airflow on their CBCT scan of the large field.
